Author Description

Product Description Despite its long-time dominance of the end-of-the-year bowl festivals, no recent reference book has covered in detail the games played in the Modern era of the Rose Bowl. In this book, Raymond Schmidt has provided the reader with an in-depth look at each contest since 1960--how the teams got to the Bowl, the competition and turning points, and the aftermath of the game. He has drawn on numerous sources to bring to life this major chapter in American college football history and also to provide a summary of the beginning years up to 1960 and a detailed coverage since 1940. About the Author Raymond Schmidt is author of several books including Football's Stars of Summer: A History of the College All-Star Games, and Shaping College Football: The transformation of an American Sport, 1919-1930. He has served as editor of the College Football Historical Society's quarterly publication for over 20 years, and now resides in Ventura, California.
